Will try to build on the momentum we had: Mishra

DUBAI: Veteran leg-spinner Amit Mishra on Wednesday said that the Delhi Capitals will try to build on the momentum they had in the first half of the Indian Premier League, when the second phase begins here in UAE. The Capitals will begin their campaign against Sunrisers Hyderabad on September 22.

"We have been doing well in the last two seasons and the performances have come because of a collective effort. From coaches to selectors to players, everyone should be credited for Delhi Capitals' progress as a team in the last few years. "We will try to build on our momentum from the first half of the IPL 2021 season and take one match at a time once the season resumes," said the 38-year-old.

The Capitals had a fantastic run in the first half of the tournament, recording six wins in eight matches. However, Mishra expressed that all teams will have to start afresh when the season resumes this month.

"We are at the top of the table right now, but we have to start afresh. We have to set our strategies again. I think every team has an equal chance of doing well now since we are all re-starting the tournament. We are playing the second half of the IPL in a different country, so we have to devise our strategies according to the conditions here in the UAE." (IANS)
